Volume 1 Four Realms Journey Seventy-four Zhang Daoyan
When officially mentioning the Minister of Winning, no matter who you are, it is always inevitable to mention a person's name.
His name is Zhang Daoyan, and he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties.
This is very remarkable, the Win Dynasty is obviously not an enlightened and open country, no matter how good the emperors were born before they ascended the throne, they will eventually become ruthless and cruel, the so-called rabbit dies, good dogs cook, few ministers can survive the two dynasties.
After all, this world is a hierarchical cultivation world after all, the dynasty encourages internal killing, and it is rare and common for various prince candidates to play assassinations, and it is a big rarity to hate such an orphan species like Jiang Chang, and blame his father for being confused, if he doesn't give birth to a few more brothers, otherwise it won't be his turn to suffer.
Rare things and rare times come together, and there is a rare crisis.
Lile collapsed, the royal road was gone, and many old ministers were disheartened, either throwing themselves into the rising Jiangyun forces, or simply making a pendulum.
Therefore, the current government can be described as the following scene:
One of the fishers was blackmailed by a gang of robbers, and the rest of the gangsters followed.
That's right, the official mechanism can now be officially renamed as a rogue criminal gang.
Mixed in the midst of such a group of hooligans, Zhang Daoyan, a guy who abides by the way of the monarch and the minister, and strictly disciplines himself, is so prominent, of course, there is also the morgue that follows him.
Oh, don't get me wrong, at this time, the morgue is not a place where corpses lie down, it means a place where the world is peaceful.
How did such a strange thing come about? The historians have changed for three generations, Zhang Daoyan is still alive, and you can get a glimpse of one or two from the poems on the only valuable painting in his house:
"The season is poor, and one by one."
Loyalty and integrity are the answer.
Speaking of this kind of thing, I have to mention the little story of Zhang Daoyan when he was young.
That was when Jiang Chang hated Lao Tzu when Lao Tzu was in power, this guy was a fool, so he did it for his son early, and he did a lot of stupid things when he was in power.
For example, in order to find a woman, he ordered the officials of the world to immediately send the beauty to the capital to compare the beauty when they found it.
This decree must be stupid, and the people are full of mourning, but this guy has a very high cultivation talent, and he has the Shanhe Sheji Order and the first emperor's saber Tianxing Sword in his hand, and he is invincible in this winning dynasty, and whoever dares to resist will be slaughtered.
So no one even dared to resist, and the entire court did not even have a single voice of opposition.
Just when this guy thought it was okay, Zhang Daoyan, who had just entered the Hanlin Academy, stood up.
It stands to reason that he can't go in with his position, but when the guards guarding the temple forced him to retreat, Zhang Daoyan, a young hairy boy, stared at the guard's heart:
"Your wife and daughter, can you also give them?"
Some people seek money, some seek power, and some seek eternal life.
Zhang Daoyan's pursuit has long been reflected in this small dialogue:
Integrity.
In such a court where the heart is blinded by lard, there is such a person, who is not afraid of power and does not care about life and death, but also has to defend the last integrity, this kind of behavior is not approved by others, but it will definitely be respected.
So the guard honestly let him go, hoping that the fellow would convince the emperor to change the stupid order, and partly moved by the firm conviction.
At this time, it is a very ridiculous thing to be loyal to integrity, but just like justice, everyone thinks that it is a child's blood and quarrel, but some people start to say justice from the beginning of their snot bubbles, and they stick to justice until they are old, then it is not a ridiculous false idea, this kind of thing is called faith, also called Tao.
Obviously, Zhang Daoyan is a person with a way in his heart.
In the face of such a stubborn guy, the emperor of the dynasty did not kill him, but felt that it was funny - maybe this was the only thing that Jiang Chang hated this fisher and his grandfather had in common?
He did something that was extremely disdainful of historians and reviled for future generations.
He ordered someone to pick up Zhang Daoyan's pants and press them on the lobby to spank the board.
As we all know, to meet the emperor to go to the court, there is a long staircase in the court, which means the ladder of heaven, the staircase in front of the palace hall, which can be seen by the world.
So Zhang Daoyan was beaten forty times in front of everyone in Huaiyang City.
Don't underestimate these forty boards, they are sealed with spiritual power, and they are still special torture tools, and their power can be glimpsed from historical materials:
"Full of flying flowers."
It is rumored that someone ate the spilled minced meat at that time and has been a vegetarian for the rest of his life.
Physical pain is secondary, and psychological humiliation is simply incomprehensible.
Generally at this time, any iron man has no face to be a man, and he has died socially, so he can only die, otherwise he will greet people in the future, and the other party will come over with a "duke", and you will not be able to play.
Zhang Daoyan is not an iron man, but he has firmer beliefs than iron.
The emperor asked him if he had changed his mind.
In the face of such torture, instead of begging for mercy, he glared at the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty can play another eighty boards, although I die, my morality will not be destroyed."
The old Wang Ba Emperor suddenly didn't know what to do, but he deserved to be the old Wang Ba, and he did something that really left a stench for 10,000 years:
He ordered someone to drag Zhang Daoyan's mother over, and the knife holder was on Zhang Daoyan's mother's neck and asked him:
"To change or not to change?"
Zhang Daoyan closed his eyes and burst into tears.
At this time, his old mother spoke, his old mother was an ordinary woman, married a petty official, her husband died early, and she was widowed all her life.
But this woman likes to read, and what does she read? Read the Saints.
Therefore, she taught Zhang Daoyan since she was a child, the prince of heaven and earth, to observe the solar terms for the ministers, to keep filial piety for the son, and to keep the rules for the teacher.
So this woman, who was not famous all her life and couldn't even investigate her name later, said something that all the famous people present couldn't say:
"Lead the knife into a fast, live up to the boy's head!"
After saying that, she hit the blade straight and broke the shackles in Zhang Daoyan's heart.
On this day, everyone was shocked, and many people changed their minds and stopped doing those dirty things.
Zhang Daoyan took a knife and put it on his neck, and said to the people of Huaiyang: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but Daoyan lives up to the morality of the world!" ”
The emperor was dumbfounded, and at this time, all the officials were shocked by this solar term, so a person jumped out and said a sentence that saved Zhang Daoyan and saved the world at the same time:
"This person is loyal, if he is killed, His Majesty will be infamous for eternity!"
The emperor was frightened, no one dared to say that he could live nonsense, if no one cared about him after death, in case he couldn't even enter the imperial tomb, it would be too embarrassing.
Zhang Daoyan survived, and the person who spoke for him became his confidant from then on, and that person was called Qin Xingyi.
The young scholar of the Hanlin Academy looked at the blue sky and slowly lowered the blade, with a difficult smile on his face.
Mother, I won, morality won, you rest in peace.
This old minister seems pedantic and old-fashioned many times, but you can't deny his will, and he has always been like this after three dynasties.
Temperament, or more or less.
Now this virtuous old guy has grown a long beard - no way, in ancient times, except for the young man, the long-bearded and beautiful sideburns were always favored.
This beautiful sideburn just stroked his beloved long beard and paced anxiously around the house.
The place where Zhang Daoyan lives is very expensive, and if he is not a dignitary, he will definitely not be able to come.
But his house was plain, with a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, a washroom.
There was not even any decoration, the court had zoned land for him, and he was going to build a house, this guy said:
"I am willing to pay all the money here to Wuzhou."
And then no matter what others think, roll up your sleeves and build a house.
In a pile of splendid villas, this adobe brick looks so out of place.
He took a wife, and after the death of the other party, he never remarried.
It is really tiring to be the wife of such a fellow, and she is so poor when she eats and drinks Lazar, who can endure this kind of sin if she marries a big official?
What's more, this is still a workaholic, busy with government affairs all day long, according to the previous emperor, that is, "Zhang Qing is the only one among the ministers".
He is a selfless and perfect person, but in terms of his own family, he is a crippled person, even worse than many corrupt officials, at least when their wives are sick, they will spend a lot of money to hire a doctor, but when Zhang Daoyan's wife is sick, he is dealing with government affairs.
There is no perfect person in the world, Zhang Daoyan saw this in her hateful eyes when his wife died, so he never remarried, but silently buried his wife under the tree pit in front of the small courtyard, and now it is like a cover.
At this moment, this workaholic is already as anxious as a grasshopper on a hot pan.
A lot has happened lately, and everything annoys him.
The previous emperor could be regarded as shrewd and knowledgeable, but like all good emperors, while doing a good job, it is inevitable that a psychology will be born - greater ambitions.
I want to surpass my ancestors, and I want to accomplish the great ideal that no one has ever realized - the unification of the two dynasties!
So he was crushed by this pride, in that Fulong Valley.
Zhang Daoyan tried his best to dissuade him unsuccessfully, and the traitor Jiang Chengping took the position.
This is the one thing he is most worried about, because there is a fish emperor, and the world is chaotic.
In addition, it is the collusion between the Queen Mother and Jiang Chengping.
There's nothing I can do about this, I can't manage it, I can only sulk.
But recently, Jiang Yun, the regent, entered Beijing, which made him smell of conspiracy.
As long as it is a royal family, the success of the rebellion is justified - this was set by the first emperor.
He doesn't care, this guy rebelled, how many people will die in the Win Dynasty?
When the time comes, internal and external troubles, the enemy attacks, how to defend the temporary invalidation of the Shanhe Sheji order?
However, he can't do anything, after all, he can't point at people's noses and scold you, an old thief, and you still want to be on top of your brother, it's ridiculous, right?
So I can only sulk.
The Bihan Dragon Palace, which had been closed yesterday, suddenly sent a person, what is the name of the Wind Imperial Princess.
He knew this, the founding emperor tried to perfect his bloodline and marry with the Dragon Palace, but since the last concubine of the Dragon Palace was refined alive and turned into a pearl in the sea thousands of years ago, he has never heard of it.
It is said that this time it is the child of the concubine back then, and it is also a sin, if it is another emperor, he doesn't care much, the Nine Heavens Realm of kinship or something doesn't care about this, in modern society, it is all over the place.
But the problem is that Jiang Changhate is a lover, for that people's girl Gu Nanyan has been so fascinated that the three souls can't find the seven tricks, and there is another one, I'm afraid that he won't be the first emperor in history to die in bed?
But he can't do anything, that bastard boy is also a pendulum, all day long, in addition to being right and right, he is mixing with women.
So he thought of Fu Qingfeng, the guy who called himself a saint.
This guy is something he can cook, and it's what he cares about.
Originally, a small house was set up for him, and he was not put in prison - a bunch of people in the prison listened to the words of that guy, and all of them had to change their minds, and the jailers rebelled and rebelled, and the uprising almost demolished the prison.
Now that you realize the terrifying power of this man, aren't you dissatisfied with staying in prison? Well, I'll arrange it for you in a big yard, but you're not allowed to enter or leave, are you satisfied?
Fu Qingfeng must not be satisfied, Zhang Daoyan is sulky, but he is not satisfied.
He decided to meet this guy.
